Rounded bars ring a glowing core like a circular audio analyzer, each with a falling peak dot. Bars dance faster and reach further as the token rate climbs.
Also known as: radial spectrum analyzer, circular audio bars, polar equalizer.
A canvas and a module script, nothing to install. Set canvas.dataset.tps from your stream, or call
canvas.token() once per token.

uTps is the token rate and uTokens the running count. The standalone runner adds a natural wobble to a fixed rate, the way real streams speed up and slow down.data-color on the canvas, or change uColor in the Shadertoy version. Currently previewing #ff5ca8.
